Boston Globe reporter Jeffrey Kelly spotlights the MIT Student Lending Art Program, which allows MIT students to borrow original works of art from the MIT List Visual Arts Center. “No artist wants their work to be collected by a museum and to sit in storage forever and come out once every 10 years,” says Natalie Bell, MIT List’s chief curator. “That’s not why they’re doing this. So it’s a really unique collection in that way, because the priority is for people to experience the work and to live with it.”
